I got a skunkupie out of the trade plants with belladonna this morning so maybe one will pop up for you too!

Just maxed out on glimmer shards and fragments, thank you glitch!
..as well as the deadwood tree, birch tree and small rock pile, since the same feature applies to those fortunes too. And I don't see that restriction happening either. It's not a glitch and it's not *****ing to walk through a back door -- it's SMART. lol
Let's all just call this type of oversight a windfall, horde up while we can and keep it on the DOWNLOW like QZ first mentioned, jeez lol....cuz mark my words, now that it's been revealed & we're talking about it so much & TL realizes they left a back door open, there probably won't be any more future fortunes that require more than 1 chop to destroy it. All future fortunes will probably be a collection from a building or a specific number of something (like, harvest 3 glimmerbulbs or collect from 5 flowers, etc) or a SINGLE chop item (like the fern or patch of grass).
Yep, after this round of updates, we may as well say good-bye to back door fortunes. Lol
Thanks a lot, big mouths LOL (no harm intended to anyone so don't get feathers riled please lol)
Ps. *good long look in the mirror* ... Talking about it myself & practically handing TL the solution for future fortunes makes me a big mouth, too lol.
Look what y'all made me do! Y'all are like a mob & a bad influence on people!! Lol
I can't get it either and haven't collected from my fortune teller's tent since the skunkupie quest popped up, until I read this thread and decided 5 gems to skip is worth infinite glimmer bits! I was prepared to never collect from my tent again since I hate skipping with gems but I had a windfall of 8 gems from dark caves just now so I figured why not. :P I have a terribly unbalanced glimmer inventory, like 45 fragments to 0 shards (only seven inscriptions so far), so I need another resource for them desperately. I'm also closing in on maxing out on mithril thanks to my mithril dragon and have been longing to turn 30 of them into adamant except for being bottlenecked on the glimmer parts.
With the complexity of today's software, it is da#n near impossible to write perfect code that foresees all unintended loopholes ("windfalls"). Indeed, very little in real life is perfect. I'm just grateful that most of these little glitches do not stop us from playing.
Yes, I enjoyed the temporary windfall, and yes, I tapped once too many times and chopped my third chop. I'm still happy I can keep playing. And no, the remainder of the possible fortune windfalls don't interest me, so I will happily work through the rest of the fortunes while waiting for the Fairy quests to resume - hopefully soon. :D
I'm going to say this again. I have no problem with this, or any other glitches, and players taking advantage of it. I really don't. I meant "*****ing" in the loosest sense, as it pertained to this situation. I probably should have kept it to "taking advantage of".
I was only pointing out that someone posted about not liking that another posted publicly about this glitch, in an attempt to keep it from reaching TL, and if it weren't for that post, a lot of players, myself included, wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
Really, I have no problem with ANYONE who finds a way around something.
I really don't want to keep discussing this. As I said, I'm really not here to argue.
This thread has gotten into a sensitive area. The possibility to cause offense etc by continuing to discuss whether actions are *****ing or not is there. Ie people could read statements as accusations of *****ing which others will take exception to and then the whole thread could flare up.
So to summarise the topic and put it to bed, TL is aware of the situation, at this stage no changes have been made. I'll leave the final words to PikaSquirrel:
True but at least no one is complaining that there isn't anything for them to do, I say let them when they get tired and finish out one quest they will still have something to work on afterwards. Plus it's nice to restock on needed supplies we will take it as a gift! Thanks TeamLava!!!
Just sent in inscription 19 and logs to fill up fragments and shards, then gleefully finished chopping log 3 times with a big thank you to TL. Will hopefully be through with Sister Sister by Thursday. Yeah!
